So dear to sons of wen ? From some unpatriotic tongues Arose the hue and cry, "No soldier does deserve that sum, It makes the taxes high." But in our nation's struggle, All would aarJy have been lost, Had our conntry's brave defenders Once stopped to count the cost.

Oh you, ye grave committee men, The arbiters of fate, Selected for your wisdom, And business talent great, Will not your geueiusity, The paltry earn return, And those soldiers' heartfelt gratitude Twill cost you naught to earn ! Take not their independence, In the land they fought to save; For though their lot is not bo hard, It seems so like a elavo. No chance to take a pleasure trip, But aged, weak and mild, To have a home, they must epend their years, Disciplined like a child. Now Oregon's dear people, So generous, kind and true, Th we men bereft of health and strength, Make their last appeal to you. You will sirew your fbwera on the graves, When death has chilled the brow Of those old veterans once so brave, Ob, give your flowers now ! anxik L Allwmjsk, Millwood, Oregon. Making a Royal Bed, Every one knows the famous tale of the princess who couldnot sleep because under her many mattresses a pea was lodged. In reality the ancient royalties were just as fussy, to judge from the strange roles of etiquette which Bur roundel tbe most trivial objects. The following is a true account of the way bis majesty, Henry VII of England, bad bis royal bed made. It is taken from an old manuscript and it is cer tainly amusing. "Tbe curtains mutt be drawn aud a gentleman ueber most hold tbe curtains together; then must two squires of the body stand at tbe bed's head, and two yeomen of the frown at the bed's feet, and all tbe stuff laid safe at the bed's feet on a carpet till the contents of tbe pailhaese were remade. "Then a yeoman to leap upon the bed and roll him up and down and array tbe litter; then to lay down tbe canvas again, then the feather bed, and beat it well, and make it even and smooth. Then take the fustian (under blanket; and cast it upon the bed without any wrinkles and the sheet in the same wise." The sheet is now tlroked smooth, tucked under the feather bed, and over it is laid "t'other etutl" that is to say, the npper sheet, blatikets aud fustian, and tbe covering' of marten's fur and ermine. A sheet of Keunes was laid on tbe spot destined for the pillow e and a large rug of ermine was placed ocr tho bed, and tbe bedclothes were brought up to the edge cf the pillow and neatly turned down. Finally "a yeoman was requited to beat the pillows and throw them up to the squires to lay them on the bed head, as pieauetb tbe lung's grace. No wonder that squires, giutlomcu and yeomen retired after these efforts, and, as tbe chronicler assures us, had good drink. Recent trench statistics show that while the number of adult criminals in creased 11 percent, during the laut dozen years, tbe number between the ages of eixteen and twenty increased 'twenty five per cent. In Pans, more than half the criminals arrested aro under twenty one. Similar tendencies aro manifest In England and bermany and in tbia couO' try. American criminologists have re posted ly called attention to tho increase of juvenile crime. Probably a variety of causes operate to produce mis rosult; but iuH tbejeouutrios luou'ioned, and in ours uot least, one of the chief causes is tbe publication of tho sensational details of crime. The president of the New York aooioty for the Prevention of Cru elty to Children, iu his last report, de clarod that the chief ugunuy iu training tha young iu vico is viciouu journalism. The papers which piiut lurid btories of oriujo, vividly il uit'st d. aud g ve elab orate sketches of criminals, lead young readers to imagine that there ia come thing btroiu or rouiitlo iu criminal career.
